Investigation of Gamma Shielding Properties of Some Industrial Materials
This manuscript has investigated the radiation absorption properties of some industrial materials. The most widely used for industrial purposes gamma radioisotope source is Co-60. In this study, the linear attenuation coefficients of some industrial steel samples have been measured at 1773, and 1332 keV photon energies using a gamma spectrometer that contains a 3”x3” NaI (Tl) detector and connected to Multi-Channel Analyzer (MCA). These results have been used to calculate the obtained radiation shielding parameters. As a result of this study, it was seen that industrial steels were more suitable among radiation shielding materials than the granite and concrete samples studied.
